In general, Mallorca looks a bit stronger than Celta Vigo. Because Mallorca is the 10th team in the points table and Celta VIgo's position is 16th in the points table. But I think today's match will be very competitive. Celta Vigo are unbeaten in their last four matches. Three draws and one win. Their performance is quite stable. I guess the Celta Vigo players will be keen to share the points against Mallorca as well. And if Celta Vigo plays defensively it will be very difficult for Mallorca to score. The match seems more likely to be a 1-1 draw.

I have the same thought by looking at the last matches Celta Vigo in La Liga, yes this match will definitely be very competitive, maybe there is a draw. After the world cup break they return consistently to not lose points, this match will probably be their important match for them because if lose, their position becomes unsafe by the team as Valladolid Cadiz or Sevilla.

I agree that this was a beautiful comeback by Real Madrid, however they need to work on their defences because it was not upto the high standards set by them. Furthermore I yet believe that Real Madrid can win the La Liga title, because matches like these are a reminder of their champions mentality and thus I believe that this mentality will be the key difference as the season progresses.

Maybe this is a strategy that the Real Madrid club must change as optimally as possible, they have to change a little from their defense to get even better, lately Real Madrid's games have been getting more interesting, even this comeback match is very meaningful for the Real Madrid club, now we believe that Real Madrid will be able to win the La Liga title, even though barcelona slaughtered Real Madrid in the Super Cup match yesterday, we still believe that Real Madrid can win this La Liga Cup.

What I don't really like about this is that Ancelotti always does some experiments to replace Modric in central midfield.
They have made some changes such as when putting Camavinga in this position which is usually Tchouameni and there were several times when they put Tchoameni in the left midfield position. even though this is good for conditions where something undesirable happens, still not all players can be rotated like this. Valverde may still be able to be deployed anywhere in midfield or on the wing but not everyone can be like that.

Sevilla have a home game against Cadiz this time. This should have been a comfortable win for them on paper. However things don't look that way even though bookies are seeing Sevilla favourite very highly. The odds can be tricky in such situations.

Because Cadiz are even above Sevilla in the standings now. They have nearly the same points while they are maintaining their presence in the relegation area. In this bad situation, I wouldn't see Sevilla trustworthy for the win even a bit. I would rather giving both teams to score a chance here. These are both teams trying to get out of this area and they both have horrible defenses. I expect both sides to play attacking football and this should help us see a couple of goals at least.

If Real Madrid is unable to win their match against Athletic Bilbao, Real Madrid will be a little far behind Barcelona because in the near future Real Madrid's rival team (Barcelona) will be up against a team that is not so strong so there is a bigger possibility for Barcelona to win again. So this match Real Madrid must pay close attention to and must try to win even though it looks like it's not easy for Real Madrid.

They can't afford to waste their current chances and they have to carry the 3 points no matter what.
The current condition is still a bit not too good for Madrid especially since there is some information that after facing Villarreal yesterday there was a bit of disagreement between Rodrygo and Ancelotti which will make it even more difficult for them if this news is true.
They are a bit of a doubt now and they have to prove that Madrid are still the ones worthy of the title.

Real Madrid's performance against Villarreal didn't satisfy me at all. Of course the result is the most important thing here but this level of effort isn't good enough for the rest of the season.

Hopefully Real Madrid won't maintain the same effort in the La Liga and Champions League. Otherwise it would be very difficult for them to win a title. Athletic Bilbao are another challenging team to defeat for Real Madrid. Because there isn't a big difference between Villarreal and them now. It feels like both teams would find goal(s) comfortably. But for the result of the match I can't be confident of anything now. Real Madrid might be able to win by a close margin again maybe. They had better do so to prevent the point gap with Barcelona to get bigger.

Real Madrid should improve their defensive play because they have conceded a lot in recent matches. They played well in attack, not every team can score 3 goals against Villarreal and besides, it was a strong-willed victory.

I don't recognize Villarreal, I can't remember the last time they missed three goals in one half, they should have played better defensively in the second half, especially since they are good at it.

The problem of defense is becoming serious for Real Madrid,  Real Madrid have been showing some weakness in their defense earlier in the season but yet it is a problem they find it tough to work on since then. The problem of defense has affected Real Madrid from getting more point to lead laliga and other games. When Real Madrid used to be in their good form Villarreal is not a team Real Madrid needs to struggle to win.  Their was no much difference between Real Madrid performance and Villarreal.

I assume Atletico Madrid will end their winless streak of two matches this time. They are going to host Valladolid tomorrow and it is an easy win on paper.

ATM will play home vs Valladolid which is very close to the relegation zone and barely winning. The odds are way in favour of ATM and there is no excuse for them to not win.
What worries me a little is Real Madrid odds that are close to Bilbao while Barcelona should win easily vs Getafe. The points gap is already 3 points and might increase this round if Real Madrid don't win..

[Velvet78]

When it comes to Sevilla I feel positive about their next game honestly. Cadiz are really a team that they can beat home.

It can still be a very challenging game for them considering their recent effort. But this is really one of the games they should be able to win for their sake. They can't do better against big teams obviously. They need to put a big effort into the other games to guarantee their staying in the La Liga at least. After all those games I guess Sevilla's main goal is to cling to the La Liga. The Europa League might be in the second plan now.

Real madrid are already trailing 1-0 to villarreal where a goal came in the 4th minute by Capoue in the last 16 of the Copa del rey. if you look at the depth of the real madrid squad in this match, of course they came down with a fairly complete squad, but villarreal was able to score goals early and this was quite an impressive pressure exerted by villarreal. The atmosphere of the game was getting more interesting because Real Madrid tried to equalize but until the 31th minute there was no sign that Real Madrid was able to do this. However, there is still a lot of time left. I hope Real Madrid can apply even more pressure to equalize.

At the end of the match Ceballos was able to score a goal and brought victory to the team, but if you look at the match as a whole, it is not surprising that they missed two goals, Villareal was quite a lot of time in the pressing and even their ball possession is more. Real was as if he was not collected and not ready for this match

Pretty sweet comeback from Madrid. I honestly felt for the first half that they were hopeless, but seeing the second half despite losing possession they were able to turn it into a win for them.
With this result they advanced to the next round and of course this is something good apart from avenging losing in La Liga it also makes them have more motivation to go through the next match.

I think the reason was confusion, maybe they had not recovered at that time from the previous defeat. Although this version is a bit silly, because this is soccer and you can not dwell on previous failures, in order to focus on the next matches. I think this win gave them confidence

[KTChampions]

Once again, an epic comeback for Real Madrid. After falling 2-0 behind Villarreal in the first half, they were finally able to pull off an epic comeback in the second half. Initially, there were doubts because Villareal's play was so good and tense. They were quite strong on all fronts and overwhelmed Real Madrid players until they took the lead. but unfortunately, they were unable to hold the position and just the opposite, losing in the end. Congratulations to Real Madrid has won the match against Villarreal 2-3.

A magnificent victory that will give Real strength and self-confidence. A second loss in a row and elimination from the tournament would have been a big blow, but once again an epic comeback and Real Madrid avoided such a deep failure in such a short period of time. I'm very happy for Vinicius - he scored the most important goal that was the start of this comeback and it was a good response to the criticism that has been heard towards him lately.

Sevilla still has not made it out of the relegation zone. they are still having trouble getting to their best form even after they recorded a win against Getafe but sevilla had to lose again against Girona so it is clear that they will face difficult times this season.

Tomorrow Sevilla will face cadiz at the Sanchez Pizjuan stadium which is their headquarters. will they be able to beat cadiz considering that cadiz is also in poor performance this season.

Real Madrid is still in a good position even though their last game against villareal yesterday  it doesn't mean real Madrid have listeded their possible standing and even if there is any internal crisis in the club it will not affect their perfoemanceperformancet the coming games.

Yesterday we have two matches which were play on same tempo and have similar results as well, but I was not expecting result like this from Real Madrid because they already lost their match against same opponent few days back in La Liga match and now things were not good for them, but they have done amazing fight back announce about their strength as well which could be surely now understandable for many these were feeling they are already out of the competition.

After trailing by two goals at the end of the first half Real Madrid and Manchester City both fights back in style and win their respective matches which is surely impressive from these both teams which are already on same level in their respective leagues and now have same challenge after few days in Champions League hopefully things could be good and favourable for them to win their challenging matches and qualification of the next round.

Atlético Madrid is having problems against weaker teams as well because their current strategy is not working for them, and they are not able to have consistency which is badly hurting them and with this current form they can face troubling end of this season because right now we have Real Sociedad, Betis and Athletics Bilbao as biggest challenges for them which can bring them down from their chances of going into Champions League for the next season with their current form.

Valladolid is surely having bad time as well but Atlético Madrid performance can give them some lifeline for having positive end of this match because few weak teams already steal the points from them and feel good, let's watch how things gone for the these two teams in tomorrow match.

Of course, and I've said it many times in previous Real Madrid match. Real Madrid won't be able to win any titles this season if they don't worry about their defensive form, I mean Ancelotti must have good options in defense in the next games. The competition is still long, Real Madrid almost lost in the Copa Del Rey. Madrid also has the Champions League, and we really have to get all serious thinking about this competition.

If I compare the current form of Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​then I have to admit that Barcelona really has a good form of defense and attack. Their midfielder is in good form, and it's a good capital to expect more intense competition for them.

I'm very happy for Vinicius - he scored the most important goal that was the start of this comeback and it was a good response to the criticism that has been heard towards him lately.

Real Madrid did great for them to equalise the two goals scored against them in the first half,and later won the match by scoring three goals in the second half. I admire their motivation and not letting their club to be defeated by Villa Real so that the point difference will not be that much. Real Madrid has proven themselves yesterday,that the team still have that quality that it takes to win their opponent,regardless how many goals down. Vinicius broke the deadlock in the team by scoring the first goal,I think Real Madrid needs to work on their defense, there is a loop hole in it,for a good performance and better result

[Raflesia]

Now the score has changed to 2-1 after Vini managed to reduce their lag but will this really be the same as their previous match.
Until now, Madrid still can't do much, even in terms of opportunities and ball possession, they really lost.
This is not really conceivable because Ancelotti is silent about the current situation and to be honest I don't really like their scheme and attack pattern like this.

They require a complete formation change. They need a strong team performance right now to win this game. There have been numerous lapses in the game, and I believe even the coach is unsure of the best substitute or change of play pattern to employ right now. I still believe they can equalize and win this match if these lapses can be corrected before the final minutes of the game.

The Los Blancos did equalize, score is now 2:2

I was quite worried about their condition in the first half, fortunately they played quite well in the second half even though there were a number of things that were still not properly repaired.
They were more adventurous with the ball in the second half and of course that is something that is quite good. The changes of the players also for Madrid in this match had a little effect but the problem is that at the moment their locker room is a little tense after this game it was reported that there were several players who were a little dissatisfied with Ancelotti who was considered to be playing favorites.

[kawetsriyanto]

Real Madrid is still in a good position even though their last game against villareal yesterday  it doesn't mean real Madrid have listeded their possible standing and even if there is any internal crisis in the club it will not affect their perfoemanceperformancet the coming games.

Of course, Barcelona is only leading with 3 points, Real Madrid can overtake them in 2 matches. If Real Madrid can continue winning the matches and they can win again in the next El Classico, Real Madrid has a chance to return to 1st place. Barcelona may get a draw result in the remaining matches, especially when they have a crisis in strikers after Depay moves to Atletico Madrid.

By the way, what internal crisis do you mean? I never heard any issue related internal crisis of Real Madrid.

That's correctly said about Real Madrid Defense but I think that Real Madrid will need an upgrade in midfielder's and not the defense definitely. They're no match compared to Barcelona, no matter what happens Barcelona are winning the Premier League.
The midfielder's are not hearing both the player's and Xavi Hernandez has done a lot just to see Barcelona back right.

[GiftedMAN]

I assume Atletico Madrid will end their winless streak of two matches this time. They are going to host Valladolid tomorrow and it is an easy win on paper.

ATM will play home vs  which is very close to the relegation zone and barely winning. The odds are way in favour of ATM and there is no excuse for them to not win.
What worries me a little is Real Madrid odds that are close to Bilbao while Barcelona should win easily vs Getafe. The points gap is already 3 points and might increase this round if Real Madrid don't win..

ATM hosting Real Valladolid is supposed to be an easy win for the home team regardless of their poor performance in their last two games but the big problem now is that Real Valladolid is one point ahead of Cadiz and two points ahead of Seville which is currently in the relegation zone so they will likely not want to lose the game because they will be the only way they won't be found there so the game is going to be tough but the bookmarkers are in favor of ATM and they will surely get all three points to boost their winning mentality again. I will predict ATM to win with 2 to 3 goals to be scored.

[imamusma]

Of course, Barcelona is only leading with 3 points, Real Madrid can overtake them in 2 matches. If Real Madrid can continue winning the matches and they can win again in the next El Classico, Real Madrid has a chance to return to 1st place. Barcelona may get a draw result in the remaining matches, especially when they have a crisis in strikers after Depay moves to Atletico Madrid.

I don't think Barcelona has had a striker left even though Depay moved to Atletico Madrid. Barcelona have Ansu Fati, Ferran Torres and Lewandowski, while they are also supported by wingers such as Dembele and Raphinha. Pedri has also been used frequently as a striker so far because he is capable of assisting attacks, but of course Barcelona must have a player who can really be relied on as a worthy replacement for Lewandowski.

Barcelona so far this season has been good, but they still need balance in the squad because I think some of the players are very young. If Fati had not previously been forced to continue playing because of his young age, the same thing might have happened to Gavi and Pedri who operate as midfielders.
